Display Case For Comic Packs?

Sysiss · 05-06-2008, 01:48 PM

Has anyone been able to find a good case which fits the Comic Packs? I use the Star Cases for the individual figs. and they work great, but need something for the Comic Packs. I'm almost positive a soft shell doesn't exist that would work for that size so i might have to go acrylic. Any insight on the matter is appreciated!

Also....while i'm at it. Has anyone experimented and found a case for the "Target" vehicle packs as well? Seems as if were getting at least a few vehicles in that sized box with the trouble bubble and so forth and would like to pick up a few of these as well.

I'm also wondering about this matter... I emailed customer service at wholesalecases.com to see if they can suggest a solution. I see on their web site that they sell a star case that will fit the Star Wars Unleashed but they measurements are too large for the G.I. Joe comic packs. Has anyone had any success finding star cases for the comic packs...?

I have poly bags i put them in. I have searched for cases but have come up empty handed. The bags do the job though, they keep the figures dust free and protect them for wear and tear.

I havent found anythign yet but when (and if) hasbro releases their "joe cases" later this year like they claim, you'd think they will also have a case for the 2 packs.

I got a reply from wholesalecases.com and they have nothing that will accommodate the two pack cards... Boo! I guess a poly bag will be better than nothing. I'm going to Wizard World Chicago and to San Diego Comic Con so maybe I'll find something while I'm at either convention...

I bet plastic case makers realize that there aren't a lot of people who really want to keep the comic packs "MOSC." On a related point, I also bet that Hasbro could be making a lot more money if they would have kept the disappointing comics out, and did "vintage-style" 2-packs. Obviously, there weren't many multi-packs back in the day, but the ones that did come out did have a vintage feel to them, and certainly didn't look anything like the (in my opinion) gaudy 25th anniversary ones.

It is all about nostalgia. Even if we are getting figures that weren't initially released in 2-pack form, packaging that induces feelings of nostalgia would lead to more spending by collectors.

WWE Classic SuperStars Are The Same Size As The G.I.Joe Comic Packs, I Put The Cards Back 2 Back And They Are Indeed The Same Size. So Im About 99.9% Sure The Calssic Superstar Pro Tech Cases They Sell Are A Perfect Match They Sell Them At (Ringsidecollectibles.com) And (Wholesalecases.com).

P.S. You Welcome

I know this may sound silly, but I have been using the bags that curtains come in.

I have a friend who was just doing her new apartment with curtains and had a bunch of bags lying around and she asked if I could use them for GI Joe.

So far they work great.
